After almost a week without baseball, the World Series starts today! With all its storylines -- the Houston Astros' attempt to win a clean title, the Philadelphia Phillies' hot streak continuing -- it promises to be memorable.
And if it isn't? If we get a dud of a series or a sweep? It won't matter -- because this postseason already has been a stunning success, one of the best of all time. From Harper to Hoskins, from Hader to Bader, from 1-0 in 18 innings to a seven-run lead blown, from the Nola Brothers to Big Dumper, from multiple unforgettable home runs to an inside-the-parker by a catcher, the 2022 postseason has reminded us, as it does every year, that there is nothing better, nothing more unpredictable and more captivating than October baseball.
